You may need to duplicate the data to another data center, so that business operations can continue as usual despite issues.\u00a0Or maybe you think losing five minutes or an hour is still acceptable.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span>Failover\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span>is a disaster recovery process that automatically moves tasks to the backup system in a seamless manner.\u00a0You might move from a primary data center to a secondary site, with systems ready to take over.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span>Restore\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span>is the process of transferring backup data to your main system or data center.\u00a0The restore process is generally considered part of a backup rather than a disaster recovery.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span>Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS)\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span>is a managed approach to disaster recovery.\u00a0Third parties are responsible for and manage the infrastructure used for disaster recovery.\u00a0Some of the DRaaS offerings may include providing tools to manage disaster recovery processes, or enabling companies to manage those processes for them<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong><span>Prioritize workload<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>Once you understand the key concepts, it&#8217;s time to apply them to your workload.\u00a0Many companies have multiple RTOs and RPOs reflecting the importance of each workload for their company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For example in large banks, the online banking system may be a critical workload because it has important data from its customers.\u00a0However, the time-tracking application of bank employees is less important.\u00a0In the event of a disaster, banks can leave the application closed for several hours or even a day, without causing a major negative impact on the business.\u00a0Defining workloads as Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 can help provide a framework for your disaster recovery plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>Evaluate deployment options<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>The next step in designing a disaster recovery plan is evaluating deployment options.\u00a0Do you need to keep some disaster recovery functions or backup data backup on-premises?\u00a0Would you benefit from a public cloud or a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cloud_computing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hybrid cloud<\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>Cloud<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Cloud-based backup and disaster recovery are becoming widely used by various types of companies.\u00a0Many clouds provide the infrastructure to store data.\u00a0In some cases, vendors also provide tools to manage backups and disaster recovery processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>By choosing cloud-based backup or disaster recovery, you can avoid a large investment in infrastructure and management costs.\u00a0Plus, you get fast scalability to keep your data safe in the event of a disaster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cloud-based backup or disaster recovery can be done on-premise or in the cloud.\u00a0You can choose to store only backed up data in the cloud while maintaining a production environment in your own data center.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With a hybrid approach like this, you still benefit from scalability without having to switch production environments.\u00a0In the cloud-to-cloud model, production and disaster recovery reside in the cloud, albeit in different locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>On-premise<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>In some cases, storing backups or disaster recovery on-premises can help you retrieve data and restore IT services quickly.\u00a0Storing some sensitive data on-premises may also seem attractive if you have a requirement to comply with data privacy regulations or industry regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For disaster recovery, a plan that completely relies on on-premise will be a challenge.\u00a0In the event of a natural disaster or a power outage, your entire data center will obviously be affected.\u00a0That is why most disaster recovery strategies use secondary sites that are some distance from the primary data center.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>No need to think twice about having a backup or disaster recovery.\u00a0Immediately consult your company&#8217;s needs with Indonesian Cloud to find the right solution.\u00a0We provide Veeam and Zerto that you can choose to maintain the continuity of your company&#8217;s
